The secret to mastering multiplication is learning tables in a good order. Start with easy ones to build confidence and create a solid foundation!
The easiest! Just add a zero to the number. Example: 7 × 10 = 70 🧸
Kids know doubling — easy rhythm and very predictable.
Always ends in 0 or 5! Useful trick: answers are half of ×10. Example: 6 × 5 = 30
Double the ×2 answers.
Tricks: digits add up to 9 (e.g., 18, 27, 36). Try the finger trick!
Count by threes; use skip-counting practice.
Double the ×4 answers to get ×8 answers.
Practice patterns and use previous table knowledge to help!
Easy trick: for 1–9 × 11, you can often repeat the digit (e.g., 4 × 11 = 44).
The final boss — but if they’ve learned others they’re ready!
